RE: Sonnier Subdivision Exemption (Exxon Corporation)
NW 1/4, Section 12, T 7 S, R 96 W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 5. Water District 39
Dear Dave,
Roy Romer
Governor
James S. Lochhead
Executive Director
Hal D. Simpson
State Engineer
We are in receipt of the subdivision exemption referral to split a parcel of approximately 17
acres from an 80 acre parcel located west of the Town of Parachute. An individual well is
proposed for this lot. The remaining 63 acre parcel is not subject to county review.
The Colorado River system and its tributaries at this location are over -appropriated. As
such, well permits applications in new subdivisions must be evaluated to determine if other water
rights would be injured considering the cumulative effect of all proposed wells. It is likely that
in many circumstances well permits could not be issued by our office without a water court
approved plan for augmentation. However, under current statutes, if the Garfield Board of
County Commissioners approves this split by exemption as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(d)
C.R.S., our office must evaluate the well permit applications as if the division of land occurred
prior to June 1, 1972.
Under current laws, Section 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A) C.R.S., and hydrologic conditions, it
appears that our office could in this circumstance approve a well permit for ordinary household
purposes inside a single-family dwelling provided that the well would be the only well on the
individual parcel, return flow would be to the same stream system in which the well is located via
a non -evaporative disposal system, and that evidence is submitted showing that the County has
approved the parcei as an exemption. Absolutely no outside uses, including irrigation and the
watering of animals, are allowed under this type of permit.
Should you have any questions regarding the water supply for this project, please contact
this office.
Sincerely,
OG ��

I have been instructed by the Parachute Board of Trustees to comment on the above application, scheduled
for April 17, 1995, at the office of the Board of County Commissioners.
When Exxon bought the Colony Project in 1980, they had an engineering firm, Turner, Collie and Braden,
restudy a traffic exhibit that was completed earlier by Colony. The report demonstrated that County Road
215 route over I-70 would not be adequate when Battlement Mesa was fully developed. It was recommended
that a south entrance be constructed, which led to the west Parachute overpass. Exxon had CRS prepare a
study in 1981, which used the Turner, Collie and Braden traffic counts, and came to the conclusion that the
West Bypass through the Colony Staging area was needed.
The Town of Parachute was made aware that this route was needed. When Parachute Park P.U.D. was
processed for plat approval in 1981, the Town required them to provide a corridor and roadway
improvements for Parachute Park Boulevard. These improvments were not only intended as a traffic
corridor, but a utility corridor as well.
It was at Colony's insistence that the right-of-way be platted through Parachute Park P.U.D. Also, some
major utilities were partially installed along this route. It is for these reasons, the Board of Trustees feel that
the right-of-way still exists and should be expected, not only through Mr. Hayden Rader's parcel, but the
Colony Staging area as well.
Thank you for your consideration. Should you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
